Question 1

Pain-controlling chemicals in the body are called ________.
◦ neural regulators
◦ histamines
◦ androgens
◦ endorphins

Question 2

People living under stressful conditions tend to get sick more often than they would otherwise. How do researchers in psychoneuroimmunology explain this phenomenon?
◦ The stress response reduces immune system functioning, thus making us more vulnerable to diseases.
◦ The stress response in the long run leads to a lowering of the heart rate, which makes the heart inefficient.
◦ The stress response makes muscles stronger, which places a greater burden on the heart and respiratory systems.
◦ The body tends to adapt to the constant call for the stress response and, thus, future responses are not as strong as before.
